All Aboard

All aboard! Welcome to my twisted show.

I have secrets buried in my garden.

They make my flowers bloom as if my soil

Was good for more than hiding the bodies

Of past loves who saw me on the surface

And jumped to the conclusion I carried

No depth, except an empty head filled with

Dead air and a brainstem armored in thorns.
